I'll try, but let me ask you this, which post was more personally offensive? What I said in response to one flip comment? Or what the comment said about a whole group of successful people without any reasoning or substantive argument?
Yours was worse. His was a type of inane throwaway remark that's at least marginally acceptable to make about famous groups or individuals. E.g. "the 49ers suck this year." Yours was a bitter, personal attack on an individual.
